A Big Average Made in the Billiard
Match at Boston---Sporting
Notes.

Copyright Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. 22.-An exhibition was
given this afternoon of the sport-loying
character of the English. Fleet street
was blocked for hours because of the
presence of Smith and Kilrain in the
Office of Sporting Life, and not until
long after these worthless had left the
neighbOrhOOd did the street resume its
normal condition and the excitement
die down. The sluggers formally
agree to call the fight draw. A con-
gratulatOry luncheon was given to-day
to Smith and Kilrain. Chairman White
stated that Smith would receive the
g, 900 deposited by his hackers. The
two pugiliStS will be banQueted. The
talk about Smith and kilrain fighting
Sullivan has had no result thus far.
There is
GENERAL IRRITATION
among the leading newspapers against
the endeavOrs made by the Sporting
Life to exclude reporters of other pa
perS from the meetings of the fighters
and their hackers and to keep them ig-
nOrant of their dOingS and intentions.
Efforts are making to insure the selec-
ton of another sporting paper as stake
holder in any future fights. The friend
ship between Jake kilrain and Jem
Smith. which was announced would last
forever, has suddenly terminated. The
publication by Kilrain, shortly after his
rival in London from the scene of the
fight, that he had won the fight and in
tended to claim the champion belt, made
Smith very angry. Smith says he does
not want the belt, but if Kilrain wants
to fight he will fight now, tomorrow or
the next day.
Charlie Mitchell, the pugilist, has writ
ten a letter to the Sporting Life, in
which he calls Sullivan 1.-The bogus
champion" and says when he is
through with him he Will want no more
engagements under the prize ring rules,
for he will then realize the fact that he
is not even a fistic marvel. In cOnclu-
sion Mitchell says:
Following so closely OH the fight be-
tween Kilrain and Smith, Sullivan's
challenge is unworthy of notice, and if
he takes my tip he will let the matter
rest. as l consider it monkey to pony
on Kilrain or Smith whipping him."
John l.. Sullivan has deposited the
sum of $500 at the Office of the Sports
man. as an earnest guarantee to bind
either Smith or Kilrain or both TO fight
him.

How a Girl smokes a Cigarette.

The manipulation of cigarette, which
the expert male can combine with the
other occupations. is to the female task
of no small magnitude, says the London
Globe.
There is the lighting of the cigarette
first of all. 1t is necessary to strike a
match-two or three matches in all like
lihOod, for her suction arrangements
are generally out of gear. She is unde-
cided whether to puff or TO draw, and
alternates the two movements with re-
fults fatal to the life of the match.
Another match is kindled. and the
cigarette again exposed to the flame,
precautions being taken to prevent the
spread of the element to her eyebrows.
At last the tobaccoi is kindled, and, with
the jerky and explosive putting of an en-
CINE beginning TO move, the cigarette
starts on its way. A cigarette is not a
thing to be trifed with, and an unpro-
tected girl finds all her time occupied in
minding it.
One hand is employed to grasp the
dangerous weapon firmly and make
sure that it shall not fall on her dress,
or set her fringe on fire or scorch her
nose. The other is needed to press on
her side during paroxysms of coughing.
1t is well to have a clear space to
stamp about in. and something incOm-
bustible on which to place the cigar
cite, so as to leave the other hand free
to rub the eyes and tumble for a pocket
handkerchief. Here the first round
may be considered as finished, rather in
favor of the cigarette.
The girl smoker is nearly always
beaten by the cigarette. 1t has been
said that she who has really loved is no
longer cir, land it may be asserted that
she who has smoked smoked i'll verify,
has become woman in process. There
of the delicate aroma of maidenhOod !;
and genuine girl smoker is, after all,
but an imposSibility-a myth.

"NERVE FOOD" FOR WOMAN
The Bromidia Habit---Avena Sa-
tiva by the Pint.


The extent to which the mania for
indulgence in the so-called ''nerve
soothing" drugs is spreading may well
excite alarm, writes Chicago Tribune
correspondent. An apothecary was
asked the other day for small quantity
of some sleep producing mixtures. He
handed over an ounce bottle of a brown
iSh solution, which he poured from a
huge jar that he took from the topmost
shelf.
Harmless, SUPPOSE" the customer
said.
"Quite so," was the reply. Fifty
cents, if you please"
do you mind telling me just what
the prescription is9''
Certainly not. L have the formula
here in my bOOk''-turning over the
leaves rapidly. 1--WE keep it ready
made in quantities, because there is
such frequent call for it. Yes, 1 have
it now: For each fluid drachm, Is
grains bromide of potassium, Is grains
chloral, One-eighth of a grain of hash
eesh and one-eighth of grain of hem
bane.'"
but those ingredients are all poi
sons.''
Yes, they are,' admitted the apoth-
y.
don't take too much of them they are
not at all dangerous"
Perhaps not. But this stuff-it is
known as ''bromidia" be pur-
chased by the quart at any chemists.
Its formula is one of the most valuable
with which medical science is ac-
quainted. For the treatment of certain
nervous affections it is unequaled. But,
unfortunately, the brOmidia habit is as
readily acquired as it is difficult to re-
linquish, and the taste for it once OBJ
tanned, its victim soon becomes a hope
less slave. Plenty of such mixtures are
exposed with inviting labels upon
every apothecary'S counter. Oh, yes;
they feed the nerves. Nothing like
them to put people to sleep-in the
coffin. Plenty of women who are re-
garded as hopeless invalidS by their un-
suspecting friends are simply slaves to
the nerve-fOOd vice. A drowsy, help
less, and progressive laziness is the
marked symptom of this highly artificial
complaint.
Poor Mrs. Simpkins.' signs SYM
pathetic acquaintance, ''she is such a
sufferer. Nearly all her time is spent
on the sofa, and her nerves are so weak
that she has to take no end of medicine
to strengthen them"
As matter of fact, Mrs. S. deserves
little commiseration. She would enjoy
very fair health did she not keep her
self constantly under the influence of
pOiSOns. Take her medicine bottle away
and she might be well again. There is
preparation called 'avena Sativa," a
dIOp or two of which is an almost GER
tain remedy for nervous headache. 1t
is exceedingly powerful. Yet, there is
a lady in Boston who takes it by the
pint. She would die without it, she
says, and it is very likely. Women buy
hogsheads of such stuff. They even
feed it to the babies.

"OUR LADY OF THE SHOWS.

For still the Lord is Lord of might.
In deeds, in deeds, he takes delight;
The p.ow, the spear, the laden bargs,

The singer upon garden seats,
He sees the climber in the rocks:
To Him the shepherd folds his fiocks,
For those he loves that underprop
With daily virtues heavens top.
And bear the falling sky-with ease,
Unfrowning caryatides.
